Holy CRAP! this is my Jeep!

Freedom Top- DAMN IT! DAMN IT! MOTHER F-ING DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in So CAl and have no need or desire for a hard top, but I can certainly use the $700 they add to the price. DAMN IT! It makes me scream and my new puppy howl in agony.

What are the chances the dealer will be willing to switch it out for a soft top?

P.S. I am now a JK enthusiast without a Jeep...

You could sell that hard top for more than you would pay to get a bestop super top, or even get an OEM top off of someone here on the forum.

In other words...

BUY IT!!!!

You know you want to.

This is too funny...i'm in San Diego with the opposite problem...don't want the soft top...want the hard top. hmmm...i'm going to ask the dealer to switch it out, hopefully they go for it.

Why no soft top? they are so flexible to meet any weather condition!
Just curious because I love my soft top.

The idea of the hard top is hard for me to get behind. My TJ was a soft top and I drove it and parked it in some pretty sketchy areas of L.A. and Hollywood when I was doing shows up there and never had a problem.

I am afraid if I get the hard top and can't sell it, it will just take up space in my garage.

My wife is sticking to the "you have to sell the Vespa first" thing, so I need to get a move on.

I was going to order one in an alternative color, but this Jeep is so close to perfect, and in the discontinued color I want I am not sure I could handle the wait.

A few reasons. I like the look better, I think the hard tops weather better over the years, road noise is less in a hard top. The plan is to have two tops, a bikini and the hard top. In San Diego it's pretty rare that it rains and we don't know its coming, so I'll probably have the hard top on during the winter month, and have it off for the other 11.

Yeah, but if we all listened to our wives, half of us wouldn't have Jeeps and most of the rest of our Jeeps would still be stock.
I usually announce to my wife when I'm not going to follow her advice. She just shakes her head and laughs at me. Of course, she does the same to me, so it works out.
Selling a Vespa eh? Should be easy to sell these days with gas prices where they are. Wish we were closer... My wife really wants one.

I have considered doing this as well, but it would suck to be out on a nice day in the winter and not be able to put the top down on a whim.
